Greece’s government continues to come under heavy criticism from all sides after the new “tent city” migrant camp on the island of Lesbos was flooded following days of heavy rainfall across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apocalyptic scenes of families with small children wading through pools of dirty rainwater and mud, and tents being blown away by stormy weather conditions, have laid bare the fragility of the Moria facility which was hastily built as a temporary measure after a series of fires destroyed the old camp at Moria.<\/span><\/p>\n

The social media accounts of several NGOs and national newspapers published once more images and videos showing disruption at the site, with many tents completely flooded out and sunken in the mud.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Moria camp was built to house 3,000 people but at least four times as many people have been living there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Complicating the resettlement are fears of the coronavirus. Authorities have lost track of 35 camp residents who had tested positive for the virus, Reuters reported. And the displaced refugees have had no access to basic sanitation in the days since the Moria camp burned.<\/span><\/p>\n
